SERVIANS LEAVE EVERYTHING IN THEIR FLIGHT.
FEROCIOUS BEHAVIOUR BY THE BULGARIANS. HUNGARIANS INTERVENE TO PREVENT OUTRAGES. London, December 8. The latest Bulgarian and German reports indicate the harrowing misery of the Servians, who were compelled to abandon almost everything when the pursuit caught up with them. Correspondents state that the Bulgarians behaved ferociously. Hungarian patrols intervened at Nish to prevent outrages on women. Street fighting followed. and several persons were killed. A Bulgarian report claims that the Servians' defeat at Kulaluma, near Prizrend, was catastrophic. The Servians lost all their artillery, automobiles, the Boyal carriage, and 320 omnibuses. The Bulgarians state that they find abandoned guns at every step. The Italian newspaper Secolo states that refugees arriving at Fiorina, in Greece, continue to narrate the horrors of the journey. Out of a party of 300 Servians from Prizrend only 120 reached Fiorina. One hundred died by the wayside, and the remainder perished of cold, hunger, and exhaustion.
